Spotlight on Permanent Nursing Part 1

Access Nurses officially launched a National Permanent Placement Division in October of 2005.The Division has partnered with hospitals across the country for direct hire positions ranging from specialty staff nurses, nurse managers and healthcare executives.

The Director, Nicole Barbano has a diversified background not only in recruiting but as a Career Coach for healthcare professionals. Nicole has been a Career Coach to RN's and Physicians across the country, creating successful Strategic Career Plans with tremendous results.

Given the extreme nursing shortage, why does a RN need a Strategic Career Plan?

The United States nursing shortage continues to be a complex recruiting challenge for hospitals. While there are literally thousands of jobs for RN's across the country the key is finding the right job which meets individual needs, wants and goals. Finding the right job is multi-faceted requiring serious consideration to all aspects of the work- life balance.

There will always be staff nursing positions available. However, the more important question should be is the position you want available and are you qualified.

Every healthcare professional needs to look beyond their current position. A Strategic Career Plan incorporates Candidates goals, provides national statistical salary and employment information and sets expectations while implementing short and long term tasks for success.

How does someone create a Strategic Career Plan?

The best way to create a Strategic Career is to consult an expert. Getting objective information from a national prospective is key. Everyone needs a Career Coach, even me!

So often a nurse will float his/her resume, "just to see what's out there." The result is a lot of calls and emails with offers that may have nothing to do with the nurse's wants, needs or goals. Floating a resume without a plan is often just a waste of time and energy unless you have a Strategic Career Plan to back it up.

What are some of the questions you ask a Candidate?

1. Regardless of location or income. If you could have any job, what would it be?

2. Let's assume you find that job. What kind of community do you want to live in?

3. Okay, Let's assume you have that job in that community. What's next? What type of position are you working towards for your next strategic career step?

A serious and motivated Candidate is open to relocation for the right opportunity, is available to start a new position in 30-60 days and is looking for a career not just a job in healthcare.

What do hospitals like to see in a prospective employee?

Despite the nursing shortage most hospitals have not lowered the bar in terms of employee competency and expectations. Actually, just the opposite has happened. The clinical requirements for staff nurses continue to increase as hospitals seek to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction scores. At the leadership level, hospitals look for RN’s with a broad acute care background, a minimum of two years of leadership and preferably a MBA/MSN.

A nurse who is passionate about providing the highest standards of patient care at every level will typically be a positive and motivated healthcare professional at every level. A hospital can give a nurse all of the tools to be a great clinical nurse or manager. However, a hospital can't motivate a nurse to love his/her job, motivate others and be driven towards excellence. That comes from within.

If a nurse is looking for a permanent position, what should they do next?

Access Nurses has fantastic career opportunities for nurses in all career stages. The best next step is to ask yourself the 3 questions and email us the answers. That's the best first step to truly creating a successful Strategic Career Plan.
